DR. ”POND’S TESTIMONIAL:

The Encyclopedia Britannica SU~
Derior to Any Other Edition.
Nonwxnx, Conn.. July 15, 1895.
Editor Evening Sentinel: After a
careful examination of one of the vol-
umes of the latest edition of the Ency-
clopedia Britannica, which you are now
offering to the public, I do not hesitate
to pronounce it superior to any other
edition I have ever seen. It is especial-
ly valuable to American students for
the accuracy and completeness of its
articles on American subjects.

N0 SPEECHES THIS SUMMER.

Present Attitude of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 19.—Senator Faulk-
ner, chairman of the natiobal Democratic
congressional committee, denies that any
party of Democratic orators is to be sent
into the northwest under the auspices of
the committee during the present summer
and approaching fall to discuss the cur-
rency question in a series of meetings.

. “I have written Mr. Hazzard, who seems
to have initiated the movement for the
tour,” said the senator When asked about
the report, “telling him that the congres—
sional committee could have nothing to do
with the scheme. There is no campaign
on this year, and the committee does not
feel called upon at this time to send ora-
tors through the country ;.I discuss any
question. If any individual gentleman
or a party desire to go out as individuals
and address the people, that is another
matter. They have a perfect right to do
so, but it is not proper that the name of
the congressional committee should be
used by the party as was proposed.”

BALTIMORE, July 1 9.——The international
convention of the Baptist Young'People’s
Union of America was begun today. It

poles supporting the tent were miniature
flags of the United States, Great Britain
and of the Young People’s union.

After receiving the above the Sentinel, for its own satisfaction, asked Dr. Dunning

“ Do you now consider this edition of Britannica of as much value as the original
He replied, “ I do; and I’ve practically said so in this letter.”

“ Do you consider a condensed encyclopedia, in any form, of more value than this
new edition of Britannica to a family who owns but few books and who are unwilling or
unable to buy books on all topics?” ,

In reply to this Dr. Dunning said: “ You may say that, in my opinion, the great ma-

able investment, especially if the condensed work was to cost an equal amount of money.”
